Comment on Giant TARDIS pipey by floppybelly
Nope, it's a police box! In the TV show Doctor Who, it's a time machine called a TARDIS.
oh, you mean phone both?
Close, but no cigar! In England they had Police Boxes which policemen would stuff a criminal they had caught into, and then use the small phone built into the side to call the station, who would then come pick them both up.
oh now I get it now! thank you.
Police box, they are different than phone booths, but they look a bit alike... I don't think police boxes are even used anymore, so pretty much everyone associates them with the sci-fi Doctor Who.
